Begin quote:
''The Department of Education has informed Princeton University that it is
under investigation following the school president’s
declaration that racism was "embedded" in the institution.
President Christopher Eisgruber published an open letter
(https://www.princeton.edu/news/2020/09/02/letter-president-eisgruber-
universitys-efforts-combat-systemic-racism)
earlier this month claiming that "racism and the damage it does to people of
color persist at Princeton" and that “racist
assumptions" are "embedded in structures of the University itself."
According to a letter the Department of Education sent to Princeton that was
obtained by the Washington Examiner, such an
admission from Eisgruber raises concerns that Princeton has been receiving
tens of millions of dollars of federal funds in
violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which declares that
"no person in the United States shall, on the ground of
race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied
the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination
under any program or activity receiving Federal financial
assistance.”’’

I wonder how the UK government will react to our own universities admitting
to embedded racism?
